A small city in Europe has been named one of the happiest in the world: what impresses

Traveling is strongly associated with happiness and overall life satisfaction. But what about traveling to a place that is considered one of the happiest in the world in its own right?

According to the Express, this is the 350,000-strong city of Aarhus in Denmark. This city is not one of the country's key tourist centers, but it offers a beautiful waterfront, many museums, and diverse art.

The picturesque place on the east coast of the Jutland peninsula topped the Happy City Index 2024 rating. It took into account factors such as mobility, green spaces, and education. And not only that.

The picturesque cityscape and charming cobblestone streets of Aarhus are a delight to behold. One of the city's highlights is the spectacular Latin Quarter, with its many boutiques selling handmade goods, a huge number of cozy bars, restaurants, and simply beautiful houses.

The city's art scene is impressive. It includes the ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum with five galleries, an entire floor dedicated to installations, and a stunning view from the roof. Visitors to Aarhus are also delighted with the Den Gamle By exhibition in the city's Botanical Garden, an open-air museum that recreates the historical life of Denmark.

Tourists who have visited Aarhus share their impressions on TripAdvisor about how fruitful the efforts to restore city facilities are and how much attention to detail is shown by those involved in landscaping.

Among the favorite places for visitors is Aarhus Cathedral, a Romanesque-style building that is the tallest church in Denmark. It is interesting to see it both inside and outside - there are so many incredible details.

Despite its obvious beauty and the fact that Aarhus is the second largest city in Denmark, it is much less well known than the capital Copenhagen. As a result, the city does not have large crowds of visitors, which makes it an ideal place for a relaxing vacation.
